(SECTION TWO: Unpacking and Placement continued)

Placement

Before you install an Evolution amplifier into your system, please follow the guide- lines in this section to select a location for your component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.

Place the amplifier on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat, humidity, or moisture. Each Evolution amplifier requires at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each side and at least eight inches (20 cm) of clearance above the component to provide adequate ventilation.

If you place the amplifier in a closed cabinet, you may need to modify shelf spac- ing or use small fans to increase ventilation. When the front and back of a cabinet are open, the air space between the chassis and shelf must be unobstructed.

Place the amplifier(s) as close to the loudspeakers as possible. While Evolution CAST technology permits long interconnect cable lengths, keep loudspeaker cable lengths to a minimum.

AC Power Guidelines

The Evolution amplifier requires a dedicated AC circuit rated at a minimum of 20 amps. Do not use extension cords, multiple AC adapters, or AC power strips.

Note

Do not operate the Evolution amplifiers with any device designed to alter or condition

AC power.
